Comment:
There are many reasons why this ticket hasn't progressed:
* The ticket hasn't been proposed for inclusion in milestone 1.2
* The patch doesn't apply to the current trunk.
* Your patch doesn't have documentation or tests.
* Your patch doesn't address an obvious API parity issue - ensuring that
mail_managers should also have a html_message argument.
* Your patch doesn't address the fact that the rendering of complex HTML
emails is notoriously unreliable. Sending an error email to Gmail, for
example, results in almost an unreadable message.
I completely agree that there is plenty of scope to improve the error
emails - but this patch isn't there yet (and given the timeframe before
the 1.2 feature freeze, I'm going to guess it won't make the cut).
The logging proposal (#12012) is also of interest here. Error handling is
currently hard-coded to call mail_admins; with a fully integrated logging
backend, it would be possible to configure an SMTP handler to send emails
on certain error conditions. Logging won't make 1.2 either, but it's worth
keeping this in mind because I intend to make logging a personal priority
for 1.3.
